00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:04.419
 So I have been looking forward to today and praying for you.

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:06.759
 It's been great to meet some of you already.

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:13.419
 It's been exciting to hear about what God's doing here and in your collection of churches.

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:23.679
 So I want to speak to you this morning about love and particularly love is the mark of holiness.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.060
 Actually, I think I have a lot to learn about loving others.

00:00:28.059 --> 00:00:33.060
 But God's taught me some things from his word, my experience, and I want to share those this morning.

00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.859
 So if you would, would you open up with me to the book of 1 Corinthians?

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.899
 I'll give you the page number.

00:00:43.019 --> 00:00:49.780
 If you have one of the church Bibles, it's 1 Corinthians 13 and it begins on page 1153.

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:58.740
 Many of you will know that this is the well-known chapter on love.

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:01.299
 So why don't you follow along as I read it for us.

00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:02.960
 I'm going to read all of chapter 13.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:13.120
 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.740
 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,

00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:23.960
 and if I have faith that can move mountains but have not love, I'm nothing.

00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:33.099
 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames but have not love, I gain nothing.

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:35.619
 Love is patient.

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:37.500
 Love is kind.

00:01:38.559 --> 00:01:39.419
 It does not envy.

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:41.339
 It does not boast.

00:01:41.579 --> 00:01:42.399
 It's not proud.

00:01:43.379 --> 00:01:44.379
 It's not rude.

00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.079
 It's not self-seeking.

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:47.959
 It's not easily angered.

00:01:49.259 --> 00:01:51.339
 It keeps no record of wrongs.

00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:56.240
 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:02.579
 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

00:02:04.579 --> 00:02:08.039
 Love never fails, but when there are prophecies, they will cease.

00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.060
 Where there are tongues, they will be stilled.

00:02:11.659 --> 00:02:13.580
 Where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.300
 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the imperfect disappears.

00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:25.160
 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.

00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:28.800
 When I became a man, I put away childish ways behind me.

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:33.080
 Now we see but a poor reflection as in the mirror.

00:02:33.820 --> 00:02:35.520
 Then we shall see face to face.

00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:37.040
 Now I know in part.

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.640
 Then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.319
 And now these three remain, faith, hope, and love.

00:02:46.279 --> 00:02:48.599
 But the greatest of these is love.

00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.179
 Why don't we just pray for a moment again.

00:02:55.179 --> 00:03:01.219
 Father, we thank you for the time that we've had already,

00:03:01.359 --> 00:03:06.099
 the encouragement of singing your word and being together.

00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:12.699
 Father, and God, we pray that you would graciously meet us with your spirit right now.

00:03:13.699 --> 00:03:19.180
 Lord, we pray that our own hearts would be filled with love for you

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:29.319
 and reminded and instructed in how our calling is to love you and to love one another.

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.799
 So help us towards that end, Father.

00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.799
 Help us to think about our own lives

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:39.180
 and what that really should look like in the course of everyday life.

00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:46.500
 And God, we pray, give us minds and hearts right now that are focused on you

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:49.539
 and see the things that you say in your word to us.

00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.079
 We pray this in Christ's name.

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:52.479
 Amen.

00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:52.659
 Amen.

00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:59.539
 Before we just jump in and look at the text,

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.460
 I want to spend a few minutes saying something that I hope will be helpful

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:07.079
 as we think about what it looks like

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:09.519
 and how we should be thinking about loving one another.

00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:16.259
 God often uses the small, ordinary, everyday events of life

00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:19.800
 to work in us, to change us,

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.980
 to show us the greater degrees that we need to grow in love.

00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:25.560
 Don't you think that?

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:29.180
 I was just mentioning a few minutes ago

00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.000
 that I'm slowly renovating my home.

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:33.840
 And I do mean slowly.

00:04:34.020 --> 00:04:35.639
 My wife would say very slowly.

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.080
 Ella, my five-year-old daughter's bedroom,

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.139
 is the most recent part of our house that we've renovated.

00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:46.740
 The thing that I did before that was the bathroom,

00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:50.019
 which sort of abuts to her room.

00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:51.979
 And to do all the work on the plumbing,

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.759
 I had to basically break down half of her room.

00:04:55.219 --> 00:04:56.500
 And she went back in her room.

00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:59.099
 There are all kinds of pipes and things exposed.

00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:02.699
 So she was in there, and the plaster was falling off,

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:03.740
 and there's pipes everywhere.

00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:04.639
 And that was her room.

00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.860
 So that was the room that had to get renovated next.

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:10.819
 And so night after night,

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.100
 slowly over the course of a few months,

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.520
 whenever I'd have time,

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:20.120
 I would go in and put up new walls and new ceiling

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.439
 and strip all the molding.

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:25.340
 And I put up new crown.

00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:27.379
 And then I painted all of her furniture.

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:28.600
 And I painted her room.

00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:31.319
 And finally, after a long time,

00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:32.560
 her room was complete.

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.100
 And it was just the kind of clean, bright room

00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:40.160
 that any five-year-old girl, I think, would love to have.

00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:44.080
 So the night after I finished her room,

00:05:44.820 --> 00:05:47.280
 we had two of our close family friends over.

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:50.560
 And those two family friends of you are smiling already.

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:51.720
 You know where this story's going.

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.700
 But they had three little girls,

00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:56.340
 my little girl Ella's age.

00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:57.700
 And they went up,

00:05:57.820 --> 00:05:59.840
 and they played in her room all night.

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.600
 And I just thought, how fantastic.

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:03.060
 You know, I finished her room,

00:06:03.379 --> 00:06:05.360
 and they'd usually be all around.

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.580
 And they just were able to play there for the whole night.

00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:08.460
 It was just great.

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.259
 And then at one point in the night,

00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:13.300
 we were sitting, the three couples,

00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:14.879
 around our dinner table.

00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:17.120
 And Ella and her three friends came down

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.420
 in their, like, most beautiful little princess gowns.

00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:22.420
 And they had taken hand lotion

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:25.660
 and slathered it all over their hair.

00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:28.360
 And they came walking down the stairs,

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:30.540
 and we're, like, horrified looking at them.

00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.620
 They think they're looking all cute and twirling around.

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.360
 We're sort of trying to hide our horror.

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:37.060
 And it was kind of a hint

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:39.139
 about what was happening up in that room.

00:06:39.200 --> 00:06:41.220
 I should have clued in at that moment.

00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:43.500
 Anyway, the night came to an end,

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:45.259
 and we said goodbye to our friends

00:06:45.259 --> 00:06:48.020
 and walked them out the door.

00:06:48.019 --> 00:06:50.120
 And I took little Ella back up to her room

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.019
 to say goodnight.

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:54.319
 Now, remember, I've been working on this room

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.459
 for, like, three months.

00:06:55.799 --> 00:06:57.299
 I'm a little bit of a perfectionist,

00:06:57.339 --> 00:07:00.419
 so I had it just how I wanted every last bit.

00:07:00.539 --> 00:07:01.620
 And I walk in,

00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:05.199
 and on the pristine baseboards and furniture

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:10.159
 is bright blue little girl nail polish everywhere.

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.460
 And beside it was cleaning products,

00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:16.439
 so they must have realized what they did

00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.680
 and tried to clean it.

00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:20.320
 And I thought, oh, Ella,

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.320
 and frustration and anger and annoyance,

00:07:25.580 --> 00:07:28.800
 all the things that can so easily well up

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.580
 in these ordinary, everyday moments.

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:35.339
 Or when we grow in love and holiness,

00:07:36.039 --> 00:07:39.019
 we slowly start to respond differently

00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:40.419
 to those times, don't we?

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.939
 I think there's some symbolism in that

00:07:43.939 --> 00:07:46.759
 for you and for me.

00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.659
 During, as I think about my own renovation,

00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:52.699
 you know, the day-to-day work of renovating

00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:53.979
 happens so slowly,

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.219
 and often you don't really see the progress, right?

00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:59.260
 Or you might come into a room,

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:01.960
 and unless you knew what had happened

00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:03.220
 underneath all the walls

00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:04.800
 and where you started from,

00:08:04.820 --> 00:08:06.780
 it doesn't look like very much has happened.

00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:09.100
 And I think our sanctification

00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:11.320
 and our growth in love often looks that way.

00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.880
 You can kind of just take a snapshot of a moment

00:08:14.880 --> 00:08:18.700
 and feel maybe like you're stuck in the same place,

00:08:19.380 --> 00:08:22.660
 when really, even though it's been maybe imperceptibly

00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:24.760
 and you can't see it on a day-to-day basis,

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.860
 but you truly have actually been growing

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:30.500
 in love as time has gone on.

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.939
 And then after some time has gone on,

00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:34.559
 one day you sort of turn around

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.279
 and you kind of do see some of that great work

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.720
 that God's been doing in your life,

00:08:38.819 --> 00:08:41.620
 and you no longer have to go into the house

00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:42.720
 and redo every room.

00:08:42.819 --> 00:08:45.279
 God's done some great renovating work

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.480
 in your life and your heart,

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:48.179
 and that's encouraging, I think.

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.259
 There's a part in James

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:52.519
 that I've been reflecting on

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.679
 over the last number of months

00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.519
 where James addresses in his letter,

00:08:57.779 --> 00:08:58.739
 in chapter 4,

00:08:59.419 --> 00:09:01.379
 these Christians that have just really

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:04.899
 not been loving God the way that they should.

00:09:05.979 --> 00:09:07.299
 And maybe that's how,

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.839
 that's where you find your own heart today,

00:09:11.339 --> 00:09:12.219
 perhaps,

00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.599
 that there's a sense that you haven't been loving God

00:09:15.599 --> 00:09:16.519
 the way that you want,

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.939
 and you feel that particularly

00:09:18.939 --> 00:09:20.559
 in how your own heart

00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.759
 isn't as warm in love for others.

00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:26.059
 And what James says to those very people

00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:28.579
 in his letter is,

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:30.939
 but God gives more grace.

00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:32.699
 I love that part of James.

00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:35.460
 You've been far from God.

00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:37.419
 You feel far from Him.

00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.319
 You haven't loved Him the way that you should.

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.199
 You don't deserve His grace,

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.020
 but He gives more grace.

00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:45.740
 I think that's

00:09:45.740 --> 00:09:48.440
 such an encouraging thing to think about

00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:49.360
 as we think about

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.440
 how we want to grow in love.

00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:51.820
 So,

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.700
 with the hopefulness of God's promise

00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:56.900
 of grace in mind,

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.520
 let's turn our thoughts back

00:09:59.520 --> 00:10:01.900
 to this text in 1 Corinthians now.

00:10:06.900 --> 00:10:08.800
 So we're going to dive in in a moment.

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.899
 I just read it for us.

00:10:11.359 --> 00:10:13.099
 I've got a question for you

00:10:13.099 --> 00:10:14.899
 about this.

00:10:14.959 --> 00:10:16.819
 How many of you have been to a wedding?

00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:19.120
 It's a pretty innocuous question,

00:10:19.299 --> 00:10:20.879
 so don't be afraid to raise your hand.

00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:22.359
 How many of you have been to a wedding?

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:23.459
 You don't have to commit too much

00:10:23.459 --> 00:10:25.120
 to say you've been to a wedding.

00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.439
 How many of you have been to a wedding

00:10:27.439 --> 00:10:28.919
 where 1 Corinthians 13

00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.219
 has been read or preached?

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.379
 Okay,

00:10:32.479 --> 00:10:33.459
 they do that here too.

00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.019
 That's good.

00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:35.799
 And why not?

00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:36.759
 It's lovely.

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:37.519
 It's poetic.

00:10:37.719 --> 00:10:38.339
 It's beautiful.

00:10:39.459 --> 00:10:41.799
 But when I read 1 Corinthians 13,

00:10:42.219 --> 00:10:43.799
 did you hear anything

00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.199
 about romantic love or marriage?

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:48.659
 No.

00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:49.579
 No.

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:51.919
 I think this passage

00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.679
 and what God says through its words

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.559
 have some very important things

00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.559
 to say to us,

00:10:56.740 --> 00:10:59.799
 but we will have trouble seeing them

00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:01.339
 if we don't realize

00:11:01.339 --> 00:11:02.319
 that this passage

00:11:02.319 --> 00:11:03.659
 is not actually about,

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.659
 in the first place,

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:06.299
 romantic love.

00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:07.479
 So I want to show you

00:11:07.479 --> 00:11:08.519
 just for a moment

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.539
 that it's not about love

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:12.099
 and actually what it is about.

00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:13.740
 So you can actually see

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:14.899
 in this translation,

00:11:15.079 --> 00:11:16.459
 if you look at the verse

00:11:16.459 --> 00:11:19.039
 that comes right before chapter 13,

00:11:19.579 --> 00:11:20.799
 it's actually set in

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.579
 in this paragraph.

00:11:21.859 --> 00:11:22.219
 It's verse,

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.000
 the end of chapter 12.

00:11:24.839 --> 00:11:26.299
 Paul says right here,

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.019
 before he gets to chapter 13,

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:30.379
 and now I will show you

00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:32.639
 the most excellent way

00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.279
 or the more excellent way.

00:11:35.199 --> 00:11:36.259
 This is what Paul says

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:37.860
 he's going to go on to do

00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:39.120
 in chapter 13.

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:40.639
 It's pretty clear

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.879
 that he's saying that

00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.639
 love is this most excellent way,

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:47.340
 but more excellent than what?

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:48.939
 What's the context?

00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:51.040
 Well, if you look back

00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:52.880
 in the beginning of chapter 12

00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:54.360
 with me to verse 1,

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.660
 Paul begins this chapter

00:11:56.660 --> 00:11:58.940
 that leads into chapter 13

00:11:58.940 --> 00:11:59.580
 saying,

00:12:00.400 --> 00:12:03.120
 now about spiritual gifts, brothers.

00:12:03.780 --> 00:12:05.100
 The context here really

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:06.160
 is spiritual gifts.

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.700
 And the context in the church

00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:08.240
 in Corinth

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.240
 was that there were

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.460
 certain people

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:11.600
 that had gifts,

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.500
 spiritual gifts,

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:13.900
 particularly the gift

00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:15.240
 of speaking in tongues

00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:16.420
 that thought that

00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:17.820
 because they had that gift,

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:18.700
 they were the ones

00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:20.300
 that were more important,

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:21.260
 more valuable,

00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:23.640
 and that everyone else,

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:24.000
 frankly,

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.040
 that didn't have that gift

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:26.740
 was maybe not so important.

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:28.940
 So Paul writes to them

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:29.640
 in chapter 12

00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:29.980
 and says,

00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:30.700
 no, you know what?

00:12:30.760 --> 00:12:31.100
 Actually,

00:12:31.220 --> 00:12:32.940
 God's very intentionally

00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:34.220
 designed the church

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:35.060
 in a way

00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:36.740
 where he's given different gifts

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:37.800
 to different Christians

00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:38.920
 and he's done that

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:40.180
 because that's what's required

00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:41.700
 to build up the church.

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:43.700
 So God's done that on purpose

00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:45.880
 because all of those gifts

00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:46.620
 are necessary

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:48.120
 for the edification

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:49.340
 and the upbuilding

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:50.759
 of the church.

00:12:53.060 --> 00:12:54.399
 So what does Paul mean

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.139
 when he says,

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:56.120
 I will show you

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.139
 a more excellent way?

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:58.240
 He's making some kind

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.039
 of comparison

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.460
 between spiritual gifts

00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:03.019
 and love.

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:04.639
 But if you look again

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.620
 at verse 31,

00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:06.860
 even just before

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:09.419
 where we read there,

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:11.779
 the beginning of verse 31,

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:12.480
 Paul says,

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.539
 but eagerly desire

00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:16.060
 the greater gifts.

00:13:17.300 --> 00:13:19.019
 So right up to the passage

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:19.980
 we're looking at,

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.659
 Paul's been explaining

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:23.820
 how there are

00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:25.019
 these greater gifts.

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:26.159
 He gives this list

00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:27.659
 in verse 27

00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:29.279
 of how God first gave

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:29.840
 apostles

00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.279
 and then prophets

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.039
 and then teachers

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.259
 and last tongues.

00:13:34.820 --> 00:13:36.460
 Later on in chapter 14,

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:37.600
 he talks about how

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.680
 the gift of tongues

00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:41.000
 is one thing

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.600
 because it edifies yourself,

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.519
 but prophecy

00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.680
 is greater

00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:45.500
 because of how

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.300
 it builds up

00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:47.040
 other people.

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:49.340
 And the Corinthians

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:50.620
 had fallen into thinking

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:52.159
 that if you had

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.740
 those gifts

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:54.200
 that were more miraculous,

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.120
 more showy,

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.840
 that put you up front,

00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:58.259
 those were the really

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:59.220
 important gifts.

00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.040
 And if you had those,

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:00.279
 man,

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:01.399
 you were really spiritual.

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:02.960
 And Paul says,

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.759
 no, you're wrong.

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.419
 Those gifts are important.

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:07.740
 All gifts are important.

00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:09.039
 And there are

00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:09.720
 greater gifts,

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.500
 but the greater gifts

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.480
 aren't the showy gifts.

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:12.120
 It's the gifts

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.700
 that do the most

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:14.360
 in terms of

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:15.759
 building other people up.

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:16.720
 That's what makes

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.819
 a gift great.

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.120
 So he says,

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:22.200
 earnestly desire

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:23.379
 those gifts,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.960
 but,

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:27.299
 then verse 31,

00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.419
 I will still show you

00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:30.559
 a more excellent way.

00:14:32.319 --> 00:14:33.720
 So all that's to say

00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:34.460
 the contrast

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:36.460
 that Paul's making here

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:37.120
 as we get into

00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.259
 chapter 13

00:14:38.259 --> 00:14:39.660
 is he's saying,

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:41.340
 more important

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:43.460
 than all spiritual gifts,

00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:45.600
 even the greatest ones,

00:14:46.420 --> 00:14:47.040
 is love.

00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:49.960
 More important

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:51.660
 than all spiritual gifts

00:14:51.660 --> 00:14:52.920
 is love.

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.620
 So we're going to look

00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:56.519
 at chapter 13

00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:57.379
 and here's what

00:14:57.379 --> 00:14:58.940
 I want you to know

00:14:58.940 --> 00:14:59.560
 and how I want you

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:00.500
 to be thinking about it.

00:15:00.540 --> 00:15:02.000
 This chapter really answers

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.840
 the question,

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:04.840
 how do you live

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.179
 a worthy,

00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:07.379
 godly,

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:08.539
 holy,

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:09.659
 Christian life?

00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:11.559
 And the context

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.759
 has already been set out

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.000
 that a meaningful,

00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:15.460
 valuable,

00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.980
 God-honoring life

00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:17.679
 that's worthy

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.460
 of the gospel

00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:19.940
 is one that

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:21.919
 builds up the church,

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:24.059
 that uses your gifts

00:15:24.059 --> 00:15:24.899
 and your life

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:26.299
 to edify others,

00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:27.299
 to bless others,

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:28.399
 and to build them up,

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:29.740
 that loves the Christians

00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:31.480
 well around you,

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:33.860
 that edifies

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:34.560
 and encourages

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:35.480
 and comforts.

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.700
 And then Paul comes

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:37.620
 to chapter 13

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:38.500
 in that context

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:38.919
 and he says,

00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:39.899
 I'm going to give you

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:40.960
 the answer

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.919
 of how you first

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.639
 and foremost

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.460
 live that worthy life

00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:45.299
 that builds

00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:46.680
 other people up

00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:48.000
 and the way

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:48.840
 that you do that

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.740
 first and foremost

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:51.039
 is through love.

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:54.539
 That's what Paul

00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:55.320
 is explaining here

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:56.220
 in chapter 13.

00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:57.980
 So we're going to look

00:15:57.980 --> 00:15:58.940
 at three realities

00:15:58.940 --> 00:15:59.840
 about love

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.600
 that we need to learn

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.320
 about today.

00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:03.139
 Love's importance,

00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:04.960
 love's character,

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:06.940
 and love's nature.

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:08.019
 Paul talks about

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:09.300
 love's importance

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:10.540
 in verse 1 through 3

00:16:10.540 --> 00:16:11.360
 and that's really

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:12.040
 the heart

00:16:12.040 --> 00:16:13.480
 of this whole passage.

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.540
 He's going to say

00:16:14.540 --> 00:16:15.300
 some other things

00:16:15.300 --> 00:16:16.519
 but they all really

00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.080
 are to this great point

00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.340
 that that church

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.259
 and we would feel

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:22.740
 just how important

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:23.540
 love is

00:16:23.540 --> 00:16:24.399
 for our lives

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:25.060
 as Christians.

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:26.759
 That's verse 1 through 3,

00:16:26.859 --> 00:16:27.779
 love's importance.

00:16:28.339 --> 00:16:29.559
 And then in 4 through 7

00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.619
 love's character.

00:16:31.359 --> 00:16:32.759
 Then 8 through 13

00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:33.919
 love's nature.

00:16:35.599 --> 00:16:37.019
 So how important

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:37.979
 is love?

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.539
 I just said a minute ago

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:41.719
 that love is

00:16:41.719 --> 00:16:42.859
 the reality

00:16:42.859 --> 00:16:43.899
 that really makes

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:45.199
 a Christian life worthy.

00:16:47.319 --> 00:16:49.039
 So was that rhetorical

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:49.799
 or was that

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.099
 stretching it a bit?

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:54.120
 How important

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.840
 is love

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.620
 for your life?

00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:57.420
 Think about that.

00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:00.720
 Let's see what

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:01.620
 Paul says here

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:02.600
 in verse 1 through 3

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.240
 about love's importance.

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.140
 Let me read it

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:05.759
 for us again.

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.220
 If I speak

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:08.700
 in the tongues

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.240
 of men

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.059
 and of angels

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:12.160
 but have not love,

00:17:12.620 --> 00:17:13.680
 I am only

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.000
 a resounding gong

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.319
 or a clanging cymbal.

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:18.000
 If I have the gift

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.620
 of prophecy

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:19.399
 and can fathom

00:17:19.399 --> 00:17:20.139
 all mysteries

00:17:20.139 --> 00:17:21.019
 and all knowledge

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:22.500
 and if I have a faith

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:23.819
 that can move mountains

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:25.139
 but have not love,

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:26.899
 I am nothing.

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:29.179
 If I give all

00:17:29.179 --> 00:17:29.679
 I possess

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:30.459
 to the poor

00:17:30.459 --> 00:17:31.059
 and surrender

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:31.639
 my body

00:17:31.639 --> 00:17:32.459
 to the flames

00:17:32.459 --> 00:17:35.179
 but have not love,

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:36.519
 I gain nothing.

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.619
 So let's imagine

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:39.299
 for a second

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:42.299
 that I have

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.299
 the gift of tongues

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:43.979
 and we'll just

00:17:43.979 --> 00:17:45.699
 for example's sake

00:17:45.699 --> 00:17:46.539
 assume that

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:47.759
 that's some kind

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.299
 of unknown

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:49.339
 human language

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:49.960
 that I know

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:51.519
 that I have

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.059
 that ability

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:53.039
 to speak in

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.559
 and on top

00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:54.940
 of that

00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:55.759
 I have some kind

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.440
 of majestic

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.680
 angelic gift

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.259
 I can somehow

00:17:58.259 --> 00:17:59.519
 speak in the language

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.259
 of angels.

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.039
 Pretty helpful.

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:02.599
 Imagine,

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.519
 it certainly is

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:04.559
 if you would think

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:05.220
 about how it would

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:05.740
 work out

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:07.139
 so you're the guy

00:18:07.139 --> 00:18:09.159
 that I came

00:18:09.159 --> 00:18:10.259
 and I shared

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:11.180
 the gospel with

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:11.920
 in your own

00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.059
 native language

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:13.659
 right?

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:14.379
 And I've never

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:15.339
 learned your language

00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:16.339
 but because of

00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:17.199
 the gift of tongues

00:18:17.199 --> 00:18:17.980
 I was able to

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.740
 share the gospel

00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:19.279
 with you

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:20.059
 in a language

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:20.899
 that you understood

00:18:20.899 --> 00:18:21.480
 even though I

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:22.159
 never learned it

00:18:22.159 --> 00:18:23.000
 and you came

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.359
 to faith

00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:24.500
 pretty helpful

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:25.000
 right?

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:27.139
 It certainly

00:18:27.139 --> 00:18:27.799
 was for that

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:28.459
 foreigner that

00:18:28.459 --> 00:18:28.859
 would have come

00:18:28.859 --> 00:18:29.379
 to faith

00:18:29.379 --> 00:18:30.939
 but Paul says

00:18:30.939 --> 00:18:32.539
 but if you don't

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.359
 have love

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.919
 even if you

00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:35.599
 can do that

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.139
 you're still

00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:37.599
 nothing.

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:38.919
 You're like

00:18:38.919 --> 00:18:40.519
 a clanging

00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.399
 cymbal

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.519
 or

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:44.440
 empty

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.740
 ringing

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:46.460
 brass

00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:47.100
 like a brass

00:18:47.100 --> 00:18:47.420
 shield

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:47.880
 clinking

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.660
 off the ground

00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:49.380
 or resounding

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:49.820
 brass

00:18:49.820 --> 00:18:50.340
 just things

00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:50.900
 that sound

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:51.820
 hollow

00:18:51.820 --> 00:18:52.519
 and tinny.

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:54.720
 So you have

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.400
 these incredible

00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:55.940
 gifts

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:57.500
 genuinely

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.180
 incredible

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:58.740
 but don't

00:18:58.740 --> 00:18:59.280
 have love

00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:00.120
 what are you?

00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:01.680
 Paul says

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.540
 it's empty

00:19:02.540 --> 00:19:03.180
 and hollow

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:04.800
 and notice

00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:05.640
 he doesn't

00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:06.100
 actually say

00:19:06.100 --> 00:19:06.560
 the gifts

00:19:06.560 --> 00:19:07.000
 are empty

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:07.300
 and hollow

00:19:07.300 --> 00:19:07.759
 he says

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.500
 I am hollow

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.500
 I am empty.

00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:13.700
 Or he moves

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:13.880
 on

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.119
 he gives

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:14.460
 a second

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:14.819
 example

00:19:14.819 --> 00:19:15.119
 he says

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:15.859
 what if

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:16.640
 you have

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:17.140
 prophetic

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:18.000
 powers?

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:19.339
 He's already

00:19:19.339 --> 00:19:20.000
 talked about

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:20.420
 in this

00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:21.079
 letter

00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:21.759
 about how

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.900
 genuinely

00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:23.619
 edifying

00:19:23.619 --> 00:19:24.279
 prophecy

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:24.859
 was.

00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:25.599
 He says

00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:26.099
 not only

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.299
 do you

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:26.440
 have

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:26.839
 prophecy

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.220
 but you

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:27.380
 know

00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:28.480
 all mystery

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.920
 and all

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:29.339
 knowledge

00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:30.359
 so you

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:31.039
 just know

00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:31.319
 it all

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.099
 you understand

00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:32.680
 all of

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.039
 God's

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.420
 ways

00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:34.299
 his plan

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:35.180
 our

00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:35.599
 lives

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.539
 sanctification

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:37.980
 so you

00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:38.079
 know

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:38.460
 someone

00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:39.600
 experiences

00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:40.039
 great

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:40.559
 tragedy

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:40.980
 maybe

00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:41.160
 they

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.539
 lose

00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:41.819
 someone

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:42.079
 under

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.640
 really

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.079
 difficult

00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.000
 circumstances

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:44.519
 and they

00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:45.460
 come to

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:45.759
 you

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.140
 and you

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:46.680
 know

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.539
 exactly

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:48.579
 what to

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:48.799
 say

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.079
 and how

00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:49.220
 to

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:49.559
 counsel

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:49.819
 them

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:50.279
 you

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.400
 have

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:52.740
 all

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:53.160
 mystery

00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:53.559
 and all

00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:53.900
 knowledge

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.400
 and on

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:54.880
 top of

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.059
 that

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:55.220
 you

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:55.400
 have

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:56.039
 great

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:56.600
 faith

00:19:56.600 --> 00:19:57.079
 this

00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:57.460
 deep

00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:57.880
 faith

00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:58.519
 faith

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:58.700
 that

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.400
 proverbially

00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.240
 can

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.779
 move

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.360
 a mountain

00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:02.680
 like

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.019
 Jesus

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:03.519
 had once

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:03.819
 talked

00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:04.039
 about

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.240
 so

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.740
 faith

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:04.860
 that

00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:05.000
 can

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:05.539
 inspire

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:05.779
 a

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.180
 generation

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:06.440
 of

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:06.920
 Christians

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.160
 you

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:09.300
 have

00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:09.740
 all

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:09.920
 of

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:10.259
 that

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:13.180
 but

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:13.420
 Paul

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:13.600
 says

00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:13.740
 but

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:13.860
 if

00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:13.980
 you

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:14.279
 don't

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:14.560
 have

00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:15.060
 love

00:20:15.060 --> 00:20:17.360
 you're

00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:17.720
 nothing

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.500
 no matter

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.180
 how much

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.420
 good

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:20.720
 you can

00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:21.160
 do

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.039
 it

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:23.420
 doesn't

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:23.759
 count

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:23.980
 for

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.300
 anything

00:20:24.300 --> 00:20:24.519
 in

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:24.900
 God's

00:20:24.900 --> 00:20:25.220
 sight

00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:27.160
 and he

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:27.440
 gets to

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.039
 the last

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:28.440
 example

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:28.759
 which I

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.060
 think is

00:20:29.060 --> 00:20:29.400
 so

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.060
 powerful

00:20:31.060 --> 00:20:31.539
 here

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:32.220
 he

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:32.339
 says

00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:32.559
 what

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:32.700
 if

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.059
 you

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:33.259
 give

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:33.519
 away

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:34.039
 everything

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.299
 you

00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:34.879
 have

00:20:34.879 --> 00:20:36.399
 or

00:20:36.399 --> 00:20:36.899
 if

00:20:36.899 --> 00:20:37.539
 like

00:20:37.539 --> 00:20:37.740
 this

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:39.019
 translation

00:20:39.019 --> 00:20:39.720
 renders

00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:39.960
 it

00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:40.779
 what

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:40.920
 if

00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:41.019
 you

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:41.299
 give

00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:41.460
 up

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:41.599
 your

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:41.980
 body

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:42.180
 to

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:42.339
 be

00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:42.940
 burned

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:44.399
 right

00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:44.720
 you're

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.119
 you know

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:46.879
 home

00:20:46.879 --> 00:20:47.059
 and

00:20:47.059 --> 00:20:47.480
 I

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:47.720
 met

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.039
 this

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:48.579
 guy

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:48.779

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:49.000
 he

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.279
 said

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:49.500
 they

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:49.700
 just

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:49.920
 don't

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.180

00:21:04.919 --> 00:21:05.259
 things

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.439

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:09.519
 kind

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:09.599
 of

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.939
 actions

00:21:10.939 --> 00:21:11.359
 just

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:11.879
 in

00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:12.399
 themselves

00:21:12.399 --> 00:21:12.779
 because

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:12.939
 of

 their

 very

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.799
 nature

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.039
 but

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.259
 Paul

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:17.559
 says

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:18.319
 even

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.519
 if

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:18.619
 you

00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:18.939
 do

00:21:18.939 --> 00:21:19.319
 that

00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:20.679
 and

00:21:20.679 --> 00:21:20.799
 you

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.039
 don't

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.279
 have

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:21.740
 love

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.899
 you

00:21:22.899 --> 00:21:23.259
 actually

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:23.980
 gain

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.519
 nothing

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.220
 it's

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:26.619
 not

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:27.879
 worthy

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:28.159
 in

00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:28.599
 God's

00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:28.979

 he

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.539
 doesn't

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:31.859
 see it

00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:31.979
 as

00:21:31.979 --> 00:21:32.519
 pleasing

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:32.759
 he's

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:32.919
 not

00:21:32.919 --> 00:21:33.019
 going

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:33.119
 to

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:33.699
 reward

00:21:33.699 --> 00:21:34.759
 for

 it

 Carson

00:21:38.699 --> 00:21:39.239
 if you

00:21:39.239 --> 00:21:39.359
 know

 Paul

 were

00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:42.959
 addressing

00:21:42.959 --> 00:21:43.179
 the

00:21:43.179 --> 00:21:43.519
 modern

00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:44.059
 church

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:45.059
 perhaps

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:45.219
 he

00:21:45.219 --> 00:21:45.339
 would

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:46.179
 extrapolate

00:21:46.179 --> 00:21:46.739
 further

00:21:46.739 --> 00:21:47.579
 and

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:47.899
 say

00:21:47.899 --> 00:21:48.419
 you

00:21:48.419 --> 00:21:48.519
 know

00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:48.799
 you

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.319
 Christians

00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:49.619
 who

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:49.939
 prove

00:21:49.939 --> 00:21:50.159
 your

00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:50.799
 spirituality

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.439
 by

00:21:51.439 --> 00:21:51.979
 the

00:21:51.979 --> 00:21:52.299
 amount

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:52.500
 of

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:53.079
 theological

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:53.679
 knowledge

00:21:53.679 --> 00:21:53.839
 that

00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:53.919
 you

00:21:53.919 --> 00:21:54.079
 can

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.439
 cram

00:21:54.439 --> 00:21:54.599
 in

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:54.759
 your

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.219
 heads

00:21:55.219 --> 00:21:55.779
 I

00:21:55.779 --> 00:21:56.079
 tell

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.279
 you

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.440
 that

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:56.740
 such

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.200
 knowledge

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:57.440
 by

00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:58.160
 itself

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:58.680
 proves

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.160
 nothing

00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:00.680
 or

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:00.940
 you

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:01.160
 who

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:01.579
 affirm

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:01.799
 the

00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.319
 spirit's

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:02.720
 presence

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:02.920
 in

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:03.059
 your

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:03.480
 meetings

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:04.180
 because

00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:04.579
 there's

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:04.980
 a certain

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.559
 style

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:05.799
 of

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:06.180
 worship

00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:06.700
 whatever

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:07.000
 that

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.399
 style

00:22:07.399 --> 00:22:07.799
 is

00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:08.579
 if

00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:08.740
 your

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.220
 patterns

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:09.639
 are not

00:22:09.639 --> 00:22:10.259
 expressions

00:22:10.259 --> 00:22:10.579
 of

00:22:10.579 --> 00:22:11.059
 love

00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:12.180
 it's

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:12.700
 spiritually

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.379
 bankrupt

00:22:13.379 --> 00:22:17.019
 so

00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:17.359
 how

00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:18.160
 important

00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:18.379
 is

00:22:18.379 --> 00:22:18.859
 love

00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:20.799
 without

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.920
 love

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:23.859
 theological

00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:24.700
 knowledge

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:27.240
 all

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:27.660
 kinds

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:27.900
 of

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:28.940
 personal

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.600
 dedication

00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:29.900
 to

00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:30.440
 God

00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:31.920
 eloquent

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.539
 sermons

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.080
 all

00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:33.340
 the

00:22:33.340 --> 00:22:33.779
 service

00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:34.059
 that

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:34.240
 you

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:34.519
 do

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:34.900
 all

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.140
 the

00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:35.740
 sacrifice

00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:37.420
 if

00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:37.600
 it's

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:37.960
 not

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.640
 driven

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:38.900
 by

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:39.240
 love

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.600
 Paul

00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:40.019
 says

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:41.059
 it's

00:22:41.059 --> 00:22:41.460
 empty

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:42.680
 it's

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:42.819
 not

00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:43.000
 what

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.160
 it

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.440
 should

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:43.900
 be

00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:47.840
 that

00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:48.220
 same

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:48.819
 scholar

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:49.160
 D.A.

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:49.460
 Carson

00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:49.779
 says

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:50.059
 when you

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:50.380
 look at

00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:50.580
 the

00:22:50.580 --> 00:22:51.340
 five

00:22:51.340 --> 00:22:51.980
 scenarios

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:52.360
 here

00:22:52.360 --> 00:22:52.599
 about

00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:52.920
 gifts

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:53.120
 and

00:22:53.120 --> 00:22:53.819
 sacrifice

00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:54.599
 compared

00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:54.920
 to

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:55.420
 love

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:57.440
 according

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:57.700
 to

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.140
 divine

00:22:58.140 --> 00:22:59.099
 mathematics

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:00.259
 five

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:00.759
 minus

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.220
 one

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.720
 equals

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.220
 zero

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:05.259
 another

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.599
 brother

00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:06.099
 said

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.500
 everything

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:08.799
 minus

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.259
 love

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.740
 equals

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.360
 nothing

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:12.440
 everything

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:12.880
 minus

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.240
 love

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:13.599
 equals

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:14.099
 nothing

00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:16.400
 D.L.

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:16.620
 Moody

00:23:16.620 --> 00:23:16.920
 says

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:17.240
 there's

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.059
 no use

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:18.460
 to do

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:19.019
 church

00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:19.460
 work

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.140
 without

00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:20.579
 love

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.240
 a doctor

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:21.799
 a lawyer

00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:22.259
 they may

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:22.419
 do

00:23:22.419 --> 00:23:22.639
 good

00:23:22.639 --> 00:23:22.879
 work

00:23:22.879 --> 00:23:23.179
 without

00:23:23.179 --> 00:23:23.539
 love

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:24.000
 but

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.619
 God's

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:24.919
 work

00:23:24.919 --> 00:23:25.519
 can't

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:25.740
 be

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.059
 done

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:26.339
 without

00:23:26.339 --> 00:23:26.779
 love

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:28.899
 now

00:23:28.899 --> 00:23:30.199
 I think

00:23:30.199 --> 00:23:30.579
 that's

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:31.319
 profoundly

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:32.240
 convicting

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.799
 on one

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.159
 level

00:23:33.159 --> 00:23:35.419
 how many

00:23:35.419 --> 00:23:35.919
 things

00:23:35.919 --> 00:23:36.279
 have we

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.839
 done

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.359
 that haven't

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:39.720
 been done

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:40.179
 from love

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:40.480
 out of

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.039
 pride

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.439
 or

00:23:41.439 --> 00:23:43.859
 whatever

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:45.039
 selfishness

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:45.319
 or

00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:46.179
 just

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:47.019
 sometimes

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:47.460
 very

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:48.039
 mere

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:48.579
 duty

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:51.919
 just

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:52.220
 let the

00:23:52.220 --> 00:23:52.699
 reality

00:23:52.699 --> 00:23:53.000
 and the

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.199
 weight

00:23:53.199 --> 00:23:53.539
 of that

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:53.919
 settle

00:23:53.919 --> 00:23:54.299
 for a

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.500
 minute

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:56.119
 everything

00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:56.720
 minus

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.199
 love

00:23:57.199 --> 00:23:57.639
 equals

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.199
 nothing

00:23:58.199 --> 00:24:03.599
 but

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:03.899
 here's

00:24:03.899 --> 00:24:04.099
 what's

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:04.379
 also

00:24:04.379 --> 00:24:04.879
 so

00:24:04.879 --> 00:24:06.179
 especially

00:24:06.179 --> 00:24:07.199
 good

00:24:07.199 --> 00:24:07.720
 I think

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:07.980
 about

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:08.220
 this

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:08.619
 news

00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:09.960
 now

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.099
 are you

00:24:11.099 --> 00:24:11.519
 somebody

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.179
 at times

00:24:12.179 --> 00:24:12.559
 that

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.819
 wonders

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.480
 how your

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.059
 life will

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:15.500
 count

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.199
 for much

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:17.940
 maybe

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:18.299
 you don't

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:18.640
 think

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.000
 you're

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.180
 particularly

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.799
 gifted

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:23.160
 listen

00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:23.779
 what God

00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:24.180
 says

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:24.420
 through

 small

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:01.860
 and

00:25:01.860 --> 00:25:02.420
 unimportant

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:02.760
 right

 all

00:25:04.600 --> 00:25:04.840
 that

00:25:04.840 --> 00:25:05.060
 way

00:25:05.060 --> 00:25:05.240
 through

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:06.920
 whether

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:07.240
 it's

 more

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:27.440
 in

 God's

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:28.220
 sight

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:28.720
 than

 all

00:25:29.159 --> 00:25:29.559
 one's

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:31.700
 even

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:32.019
 the

 wealth

00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:32.460
 of

 kingdom

00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:33.180
 given

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.500
 away

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:33.700
 or

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:33.879
 a

 body

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:34.559
 offered

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:34.839
 up

00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:36.519
 that's

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:37.460
 actually

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:37.720
 what

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:38.279
 1 Corinthians

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.700
 says

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:38.980
 isn't

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.180
 it

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:41.539
 I

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:41.840
 think

00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:42.299
 these

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:43.039
 verses

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.340
 in

00:25:43.340 --> 00:25:43.600
 some

00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:43.840
 ways

00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:44.259
 cut

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:44.720
 through

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.700
 a lot

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:45.860
 of

00:25:45.860 --> 00:25:46.000
 the

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.600
 complexities

00:25:46.600 --> 00:25:47.000
 of

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.279
 things

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.420
 that

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:47.519
 are

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:47.799
 very

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.460
 complex

00:25:48.460 --> 00:25:49.120
 right

00:25:49.120 --> 00:25:49.500
 where

00:25:49.500 --> 00:25:50.180
 where do

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:50.340
 we

00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:50.920
 pour

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:51.140
 our

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:51.480
 time

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:51.660
 and

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:52.120
 energy

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:53.100
 in

00:25:53.100 --> 00:25:53.320
 as

00:25:53.320 --> 00:25:53.940
 Christians

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.360
 where

00:25:54.360 --> 00:25:54.680
 there

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.080
 can be

00:25:55.080 --> 00:25:55.640
 so many

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:56.200
 layers

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:56.799
 sometimes

00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.440
 to the

00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:57.840
 Christian

00:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.259
 life

00:25:58.259 --> 00:25:58.400
 and

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:58.700
 thinking

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.039
 about

00:25:59.039 --> 00:25:59.299
 what

00:25:59.299 --> 00:25:59.560
 God

00:25:59.560 --> 00:25:59.900
 wants

00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:00.060
 us

00:26:00.060 --> 00:26:00.259
 to

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.620
 do

00:26:00.620 --> 00:26:01.120
 and

00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:01.380
 how

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:01.580
 we

00:26:01.580 --> 00:26:01.759
 should

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:01.980
 live

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.180
 our

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:02.640
 lives

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.940
 the

00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:04.660
 answer

00:26:04.660 --> 00:26:04.860
 in

00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:05.060
 one

00:26:05.060 --> 00:26:05.440
 sense

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:05.620
 to

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:05.940
 that

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:06.640
 is

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:07.320
 always

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:08.259
 to

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.900
 pursue

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:09.700
 love

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:15.060
 so

00:26:15.060 --> 00:26:15.280
 how

00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:15.660
 important

00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:15.880
 is

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.259
 love

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:19.100
 everything

00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:19.580

 limits

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:15.560
 on

00:32:16.080 --> 00:32:16.539
 endure

00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:18.220
 it

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:19.060
 perseveres

00:32:19.060 --> 00:32:19.220
 it

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:19.480
 doesn't

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.039
 that's

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:24.180
 what

00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:24.500
 God

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:24.900
 says

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:25.140
 here

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:25.299
 is

00:32:25.299 --> 00:32:25.840
 our

00:32:25.840 --> 00:32:27.160
 measurement

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:28.019
 for

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:46.460
 in

 one

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.039
 sense

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.579
 we

00:32:47.579 --> 00:32:47.759
 can

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.059
 say

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:57.079
 loves

00:33:00.600 --> 00:33:00.980
 like

00:33:00.980 --> 00:33:01.500
 this

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.160
 that

00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:03.340
 should

00:33:03.340 --> 00:33:03.480
 be

00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:15.380
 God

 would

00:33:15.620 --> 00:33:15.880
 make

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:16.060
 us

00:33:16.060 --> 00:33:16.400
 people

00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:16.580
 that

00:33:16.580 --> 00:33:16.720
 are

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:17.580
 genuinely

 and

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:19.040
 deeply

00:33:19.040 --> 00:33:19.540
 loving

00:33:19.540 --> 00:33:21.900
 now

00:33:21.900 --> 00:33:22.560
 Paul's

00:33:22.560 --> 00:33:22.720
 going to

00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.080
 go on

00:33:23.080 --> 00:33:23.500
 basically

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.800
 and he's

00:33:23.800 --> 00:33:23.980
 going to

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.160
 say

00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:24.380
 this

00:33:24.380 --> 00:33:24.779
 again

00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:25.540
 he's

00:33:25.540 --> 00:33:25.660
 just

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:25.900
 going to

00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:26.140
 say

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.259
 it

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:26.440
 in a

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.880
 he's

00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:29.060
 going to

00:33:29.060 --> 00:33:29.200
 say

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:29.320
 it

00:33:29.320 --> 00:33:29.420
 from

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:29.560
 a

00:33:29.560 --> 00:33:29.779
 different

00:33:29.779 --> 00:33:30.259
 angle

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:31.140
 and

00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:31.500
 then

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:31.700
 he's

00:33:31.700 --> 00:33:31.800
 going

00:33:31.800 --> 00:33:31.880
 to

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:32.140
 actually

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:32.620
 leave

00:33:32.620 --> 00:33:32.940
 us

00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:33.400
 with

00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:33.500
 a

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:33.740
 very

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:34.279
 important

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:35.000
 conclusion

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:35.380
 after

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:35.700
 all

00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:35.840
 of

00:33:35.840 --> 00:33:35.980
 this

00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:36.120
 so

00:33:36.120 --> 00:33:36.200
 I

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:36.360
 want

00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:36.480
 us

00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:36.600
 to

00:33:36.600 --> 00:33:36.759
 see

00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:37.060
 both

00:33:37.060 --> 00:33:37.200
 of

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:37.420
 them

00:33:37.420 --> 00:33:37.980
 but

00:33:37.980 --> 00:33:38.200
 let's

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.380
 look

00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:38.480
 at

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.660
 this

00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:38.940
 third

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:39.440
 section

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:39.800
 here

00:33:39.800 --> 00:33:40.100
 where

00:33:40.100 --> 00:33:40.900
 Paul's

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:41.019
 going

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:41.100
 to

00:33:41.100 --> 00:33:41.420
 really

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:41.920
 make

00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:42.120
 the

00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:42.580
 same

00:33:42.580 --> 00:33:43.060
 point

00:33:43.060 --> 00:33:43.440
 again

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:43.740
 about

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.100
 love's

00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:44.640
 importance

00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:45.180
 but he's

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:45.380
 going to

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:45.640
 do it

00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:45.779
 from

00:33:45.779 --> 00:33:46.279
 the angle

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:46.480
 of

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:46.740
 thinking

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:47.140
 about

00:33:47.140 --> 00:33:47.580
 the

00:33:47.580 --> 00:33:48.180
 nature

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:48.660
 of

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:49.080
 love

00:33:49.080 --> 00:33:51.019
 let me

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:51.220
 read

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:51.340
 it

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.560
 fails

00:33:58.560 --> 00:33:59.340
 but

00:33:59.340 --> 00:33:59.560
 where

00:33:59.560 --> 00:33:59.820
 there's

00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:00.460
 prophecies

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:00.800
 they will

00:34:00.800 --> 00:34:01.240
 cease

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:02.019
 where

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.200
 there

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:02.340
 are

00:34:02.340 --> 00:34:02.620
 tongues

00:34:02.620 --> 00:34:02.900
 they'll

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.080
 be

00:34:03.080 --> 00:34:03.480
 stilled

00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:03.600
 where

00:34:03.600 --> 00:34:03.840
 there's

00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:04.160
 knowledge

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.400
 it will

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:04.759
 pass

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:05.180
 away

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.620
 for

00:34:05.620 --> 00:34:05.820
 we

00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:06.080
 know

00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:06.279
 in

00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:06.580
 part

00:34:06.580 --> 00:34:06.680
 and

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:06.800
 we

00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:07.360
 prophesy

00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:07.620
 in

00:34:07.620 --> 00:34:07.880
 part

00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:08.300
 but

00:34:08.300 --> 00:34:08.420
 when

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:08.579
 the

00:34:08.579 --> 00:34:08.940
 perfect

00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:09.380
 comes

00:34:09.380 --> 00:34:09.619
 the

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:10.340
 imperfect

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:11.220
 disappears

00:34:11.220 --> 00:34:12.139
 when

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:12.280
 I

00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:12.420
 was

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:12.579
 a

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:12.900
 child

00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:13.079
 I

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.440
 talked

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:13.639
 like

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:13.800
 a

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:14.139
 child

00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:14.559
 I

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.800
 thought

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:15.019
 like

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.159
 a

00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:15.400
 child

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:15.579
 I

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:16.019
 reasoned

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.139
 like

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:16.300
 a

00:34:16.300 --> 00:34:16.680
 child

00:34:16.680 --> 00:34:17.260
 when

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:17.380
 I

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:17.700
 became

00:34:17.700 --> 00:34:17.860
 a

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.039
 man

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:18.180
 I

00:34:18.180 --> 00:34:18.400
 put

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:18.680
 away

00:34:18.680 --> 00:34:19.099
 childish

00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:19.500
 ways

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:20.019
 behind

00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:20.340
 me

00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:21.260
 now

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.379
 know

00:34:28.379 --> 00:34:28.819
 fully

00:34:28.819 --> 00:34:29.199
 even

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:29.399
 as

00:34:29.399 --> 00:34:29.500

00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.460
 these

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:32.719
 three

00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:33.259

00:34:42.500 --> 00:34:43.399
 it

00:34:43.399 --> 00:34:43.779

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:48.179
 it

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:48.399
 ends

00:36:00.600 --> 00:36:00.900
 of

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:01.220
 making

00:36:01.220 --> 00:36:01.980
 sense

00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:02.140
 of

00:36:02.140 --> 00:36:02.340
 verse

00:36:02.340 --> 00:36:02.940
 13

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:03.280
 here

00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:03.400
 and

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:03.519
 it

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:03.700
 is

00:36:03.700 --> 00:36:04.039
 hard

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.200
 to

00:36:04.200 --> 00:36:04.360
 make

00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:04.680
 sense

00:36:04.680 --> 00:36:04.860
 of

00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:05.240
 I

00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:05.400
 think

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:05.680
 Paul

00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:05.800
 is

00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:06.039
 making

00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:06.220
 a

00:36:06.220 --> 00:36:06.500
 similar

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:06.900
 argument

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:07.079
 I

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:07.220
 think

00:36:07.220 --> 00:36:07.400
 he's

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:07.620

00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:09.079
 and

00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:09.720
 hope

00:36:09.720 --> 00:36:10.000
 those

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:10.220
 things

00:36:10.220 --> 00:36:10.380
 are

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:11.140
 central

00:36:11.140 --> 00:36:11.860
 to

00:36:11.860 --> 00:36:12.079
 our

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:12.440

00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:12.740
 faith

00:36:12.740 --> 00:36:12.920

00:36:14.099 --> 00:36:14.360
 us

00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:14.539
 right

00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:15.160
 that's

00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:15.280
 how

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:15.420
 we

00:36:15.420 --> 00:36:15.800

00:36:16.700 --> 00:36:16.840

00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:40.140
 kind

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:40.259
 of

00:39:40.259 --> 00:39:40.759
 affection

00:39:40.759 --> 00:39:41.059
 in

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:41.219
 your

00:39:41.219 --> 00:39:41.719
 heart

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:42.879
 it

00:39:42.879 --> 00:39:43.259
 certainly

00:39:43.259 --> 00:39:43.579
 has

00:39:43.579 --> 00:39:44.259
 affections

00:39:44.259 --> 00:39:44.460
 in

00:39:44.460 --> 00:39:44.900
 mind

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:45.379
 and

00:39:45.379 --> 00:39:45.739
 it's

00:39:45.739 --> 00:39:45.980
 very

00:39:45.980 --> 00:39:46.339
 much

00:39:46.339 --> 00:39:46.599
 getting

00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:46.779
 at

00:39:46.779 --> 00:39:46.940
 our

00:39:46.940 --> 00:39:47.500
 motivations

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:47.940
 isn't

00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:48.480
 it

00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:49.219
 in

00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:49.480
 one

00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:49.779
 sense

00:39:49.779 --> 00:39:49.940
 the

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:50.119
 whole

00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:50.619
 passage

00:39:50.619 --> 00:39:50.879
 is

00:39:50.879 --> 00:39:51.179
 about

00:39:51.179 --> 00:39:51.879
 motivations

00:39:51.879 --> 00:39:53.420
 but

00:39:53.420 --> 00:39:53.539
 in

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:53.839
 another

00:39:53.839 --> 00:39:54.279
 sense

00:39:54.279 --> 00:39:55.000
 all

00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:55.159
 of

00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:55.299
 this

00:39:55.299 --> 00:39:55.639
 loving

00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:55.879
 is

00:39:55.879 --> 00:39:56.279
 viewed

00:39:56.279 --> 00:39:56.980
 primarily

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:57.319
 in

00:39:57.319 --> 00:39:57.659
 terms

00:39:57.659 --> 00:39:58.139
 of

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:58.619
 doing

00:39:58.619 --> 00:39:59.619
 and

00:39:59.619 --> 00:39:59.739
 I

00:39:59.739 --> 00:39:59.920
 think

00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:00.079
 what

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:00.299
 Paul

00:40:00.299 --> 00:40:00.440
 is

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:00.679
 saying

00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:00.940
 here

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.079
 is

00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:01.460
 you

00:40:01.460 --> 00:40:01.859
 don't

00:40:01.859 --> 00:40:02.359
 wait

00:40:02.359 --> 00:40:02.759
 until

00:40:02.759 --> 00:40:02.920
 you

00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:03.119
 just

00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:03.379
 have

00:40:03.379 --> 00:40:03.599
 those

00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:03.940
 proper

00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:04.579
 affections

00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:05.420
 love

00:40:05.420 --> 00:40:05.759
 here

00:40:05.759 --> 00:40:05.940
 is

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:06.259
 actually

00:40:06.259 --> 00:40:06.500
 just

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:06.839
 seeing

00:40:06.839 --> 00:40:07.099
 that

00:40:07.099 --> 00:40:07.559
 God

00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:07.699
 has

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:08.059
 called

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:08.299
 us

00:40:08.299 --> 00:40:08.480
 to

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:08.820
 do

00:40:08.820 --> 00:40:09.299
 the

00:40:09.299 --> 00:40:09.699
 good

00:40:09.699 --> 00:40:10.039
 things

00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:10.239
 that

00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:10.480
 build

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:10.699
 each

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:10.940
 other

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:11.179
 up

00:40:11.179 --> 00:40:11.579
 and

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:11.719
 to

00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:12.039
 get

00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:12.340
 on

00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:12.500
 with

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:13.000
 doing

00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:13.320
 those

00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:13.739
 things

00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:16.639
 and

00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:16.860
 listen

00:40:16.860 --> 00:40:17.360
 actions

00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:18.199
 don't

00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:18.420
 just

00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:18.920
 follow

00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:19.880
 affections

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:21.559
 but

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:22.000
 actions

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:22.579
 also

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:23.579
 breed

00:40:23.579 --> 00:40:24.259
 affections

00:40:24.259 --> 00:40:24.639
 don't

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:24.900
 they

00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:26.299
 actions

00:40:26.299 --> 00:40:26.840
 produce

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:27.539
 habits

00:40:27.539 --> 00:40:29.019
 and

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:29.480
 habits

00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:29.860
 make

00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:30.820
 character

00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:31.759
 and

00:40:31.759 --> 00:40:32.159
 ultimately

00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:32.799
 character

00:40:32.799 --> 00:40:33.099
 is

00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:33.299
 what

00:40:33.299 --> 00:40:33.960
 determines

00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:34.500
 how

00:40:34.500 --> 00:40:34.699
 we

00:40:34.699 --> 00:40:35.340
 feel

00:40:35.340 --> 00:40:35.719
 and

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:36.139
 think

00:40:36.139 --> 00:40:36.440
 about

00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:36.940
 things

00:40:36.940 --> 00:40:38.300
 so

00:40:38.300 --> 00:40:38.619
 Paul

00:40:38.619 --> 00:40:38.840
 says

00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:39.200
 put

00:40:39.200 --> 00:40:39.539
 on

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:40.059
 love

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:41.179
 present

00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:41.820
 yourself

00:40:41.820 --> 00:40:42.039
 to

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:42.260
 what's

00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:42.599
 right

00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:42.860
 and

00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:43.280
 loving

00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:44.179
 stop

00:40:44.179 --> 00:40:44.659
 yourself

00:40:44.659 --> 00:40:44.880
 when

00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:45.059
 you're

00:40:45.059 --> 00:40:45.480
 sinning

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:45.659
 and

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:45.880
 doing

00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:46.099
 the

00:40:46.099 --> 00:40:46.420
 things

00:40:46.420 --> 00:40:46.860
 that

00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:46.980
 are

00:40:46.980 --> 00:40:47.480
 described

00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:47.679
 in

00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:47.860
 this

00:40:47.860 --> 00:40:48.200
 text

00:40:48.200 --> 00:40:48.400
 and

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:48.820
 instead

00:40:48.820 --> 00:40:49.760
 change

00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:49.940
 your

00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:50.280
 attitude

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:50.780
 put

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:51.079
 on

00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:51.599
 patience

00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:52.179
 put

00:40:52.179 --> 00:40:52.460
 on

00:40:52.460 --> 00:40:53.000
 kindness

00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:53.720
 put

00:40:53.720 --> 00:40:54.059
 on

00:40:54.059 --> 00:40:54.220
 what

00:40:54.220 --> 00:40:54.400
 is

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:54.880
 loving

00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:55.820
 and

00:40:55.820 --> 00:40:55.940
 it

00:40:55.940 --> 00:40:56.079
 will

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:56.519
 lead

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:56.740
 to

00:40:56.740 --> 00:40:56.960
 a

00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:57.240
 heart

00:40:57.240 --> 00:40:57.619
 that's

00:40:57.619 --> 00:40:57.920
 loving

00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.619
 put

00:41:00.619 --> 00:41:00.880
 on

00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:01.179
 what's

00:41:01.179 --> 00:41:01.539
 loving

00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:02.559
 and

00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:02.679
 it

00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:02.760
 will

00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:02.960
 lead

00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.099
 to

00:41:03.099 --> 00:41:03.240
 a

00:41:03.240 --> 00:41:03.440
 heart

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:03.740
 that's

00:41:03.740 --> 00:41:04.039
 loving

00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:05.240
 pursue

00:41:05.240 --> 00:41:05.840
 love

00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:06.079
 by

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:06.659
 showing

00:41:06.659 --> 00:41:07.159
 love

00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.319
 I think

00:41:08.319 --> 00:41:08.559
 that's

00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:08.839
 what he'd

00:41:08.839 --> 00:41:09.179
 think of

00:41:09.179 --> 00:41:09.500
 first

00:41:09.500 --> 00:41:09.739
 but

00:41:09.739 --> 00:41:10.599
 I can't

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:11.079
 imagine

00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:11.460
 Paul

00:41:11.460 --> 00:41:11.940
 saying

00:41:11.940 --> 00:41:12.799
 pursue

00:41:12.799 --> 00:41:13.379
 love

00:41:13.379 --> 00:41:14.099
 without

00:41:14.099 --> 00:41:14.639
 also

00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:14.920
 us

00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:15.299
 thinking

00:41:15.299 --> 00:41:15.859
 about

00:41:15.859 --> 00:41:17.279
 beholding

00:41:17.279 --> 00:41:17.679
 love

00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.679
 not just

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:20.119
 showing

00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:20.420
 love

00:41:20.420 --> 00:41:20.899
 but also

00:41:20.899 --> 00:41:21.539
 beholding

00:41:21.539 --> 00:41:21.719
 love

00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:21.859
 or

00:41:21.859 --> 00:41:23.239
 how we

00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:23.659
 actually

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:24.579
 have

00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:25.119
 beheld

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:25.579
 love

00:41:25.579 --> 00:41:26.539
 in

00:41:26.539 --> 00:41:26.980
 Christ

00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:27.279
 like

00:41:27.279 --> 00:41:27.739
 we were

00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:27.980
 thinking

00:41:27.980 --> 00:41:28.259
 about

00:41:28.259 --> 00:41:28.779
 earlier

00:41:28.779 --> 00:41:29.980
 Romans

00:41:29.980 --> 00:41:30.339

00:41:30.339 --> 00:41:30.619
 8

00:41:30.619 --> 00:41:31.259
 God

00:41:31.259 --> 00:41:31.960
 shows

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:32.159
 God

00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:32.239
 shows

00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:32.339
 his

00:41:32.339 --> 00:41:32.759
 love

00:41:32.759 --> 00:41:33.380
 for

00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:33.699
 us

00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:33.940
 in

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:34.059
 that

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:34.279
 while

00:41:34.279 --> 00:41:34.440
 we

00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:20.219
 like

00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:20.379

00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:42.480
 he

00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:42.699
 said

00:48:42.699 --> 00:48:42.980
 this

00:48:42.980 --> 00:48:43.320
 about

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:43.840
 the

00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:44.300
 priority

00:48:44.300 --> 00:48:44.559
 of

00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:44.800
 love

00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:44.920
 he

00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:45.099
 said

00:48:45.099 --> 00:48:45.240
 you

00:48:45.240 --> 00:48:45.440
 can

00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:45.820
 write

00:48:45.820 --> 00:48:46.400
 down

00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:47.099
 either

00:48:47.099 --> 00:48:47.240
 in

00:48:47.240 --> 00:48:47.380
 your

00:48:47.380 --> 00:48:48.059
 imagination

00:48:48.059 --> 00:48:48.280
 or

00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:48.460
 on a

00:48:48.460 --> 00:48:48.600
 sheet

00:48:48.600 --> 00:48:48.720
 of

00:48:48.720 --> 00:48:49.080
 paper

00:48:49.080 --> 00:48:49.660
 a

00:48:49.660 --> 00:48:49.960
 row

00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:50.180
 of

00:48:50.180 --> 00:48:50.540
 zeros

00:48:50.540 --> 00:48:52.000
 and

00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:52.120
 you

00:48:52.120 --> 00:48:52.340
 keep

00:48:52.340 --> 00:48:52.660
 adding

00:48:52.660 --> 00:48:53.040
 zeros

00:48:53.040 --> 00:48:53.320
 until

00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:53.500
 you

00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:53.680
 fill

00:48:53.680 --> 00:48:53.860
 the

00:48:53.860 --> 00:48:54.080
 whole

00:48:54.080 --> 00:48:54.320
 line

00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:54.460
 on

00:48:54.460 --> 00:48:54.580
 the

00:48:54.580 --> 00:48:54.960
 page

00:48:55.040 --> 00:48:55.760
 what does

00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:55.860
 it

00:48:55.860 --> 00:48:56.040
 add

00:48:56.040 --> 00:48:56.400
 up to

00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:56.800
 exactly

00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:57.240
 nothing

00:48:57.240 --> 00:48:57.640
 right

00:48:57.640 --> 00:48:59.660
 even if

00:48:59.660 --> 00:48:59.900
 you were

00:48:59.900 --> 00:49:00.360
 to write

00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:00.780
 thousands

00:49:00.780 --> 00:49:01.040
 of

00:49:01.040 --> 00:49:01.260
 them

00:49:01.260 --> 00:49:01.740
 still

00:49:01.740 --> 00:49:01.940
 adds

00:49:01.940 --> 00:49:02.100
 up

00:49:02.100 --> 00:49:02.220
 to

00:49:02.220 --> 00:49:02.500
 nothing

00:49:02.500 --> 00:49:03.500
 but

00:49:03.500 --> 00:49:03.620
 you

00:49:03.620 --> 00:49:03.860
 put

00:49:03.860 --> 00:49:04.260
 one

00:49:04.260 --> 00:49:04.900
 positive

00:49:04.900 --> 00:49:05.320
 number

00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:05.500
 in

00:49:05.500 --> 00:49:05.760
 front

00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:05.920
 of

00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:06.160
 them

00:49:06.160 --> 00:49:06.780
 and

00:49:06.780 --> 00:49:07.380
 immediately

00:49:07.380 --> 00:49:07.780
 you

00:49:07.780 --> 00:49:07.980
 have

00:49:07.980 --> 00:49:08.420
 value

00:49:08.420 --> 00:49:10.160
 and

00:49:10.160 --> 00:49:10.360
 that's

00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:10.480
 how

00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:10.620
 it

00:49:10.620 --> 00:49:10.780
 is

00:49:10.780 --> 00:49:10.920
 with

00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:11.040
 our

00:49:11.040 --> 00:49:11.480
 gifts

00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:12.120
 and

00:49:12.120 --> 00:49:12.760
 abilities

00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:13.140
 and

00:49:13.140 --> 00:49:13.320
 our

00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:13.780
 zeal

00:49:13.780 --> 00:49:14.620
 they're

00:49:14.620 --> 00:49:14.800
 all

00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:14.960
 the

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:18.940
 Don't count.

00:49:19.660 --> 00:49:21.300
 But you put love in front of them

00:49:21.300 --> 00:49:24.500
 and immediately they have value.

00:49:24.680 --> 00:49:26.200
 And just like if you add a number two

00:49:26.200 --> 00:49:27.720
 instead of a number one,

00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.400
 the more love that we grow in,

00:49:31.180 --> 00:49:34.360
 the exponentially more valuable

00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:36.440
 our gifts in our life will be.

00:49:38.780 --> 00:49:42.620
 So remember, it's not the number that comes first

00:49:42.620 --> 00:49:45.300
 or that comes after, excuse me.

00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:47.740
 The number that comes after the gifts

00:49:47.739 --> 00:49:50.899
 that the things that you have that matters

00:49:50.899 --> 00:49:51.799
 first and foremost.

00:49:51.979 --> 00:49:52.719
 First and foremost,

00:49:53.179 --> 00:49:54.639
 it's the number that comes first.

00:49:54.759 --> 00:49:56.159
 It's your love.

00:49:57.679 --> 00:49:59.679
 So hear this text today

00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:02.079
 where I think we can summarize it as

00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:05.559
 hearing be imitators of God as beloved children

00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:07.699
 and walk in love.

00:50:08.879 --> 00:50:11.739
 Beloved is who we are as Christians

00:50:11.739 --> 00:50:15.039
 and what we're called to be above all other things

00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.639
 as people that are learning to love

00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:21.359
 our neighbors like Christ has loved us.

00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.219
 Let me pray for us and pray that

00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:26.539
 God would really help us to do that.

00:50:26.539 --> 00:50:39.079
 our Father, we ask that

00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:40.960
 you would

00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:43.699
 help each one of us

00:50:43.699 --> 00:50:45.840
 Lord, that are Christians

00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:46.279
 to

00:50:46.279 --> 00:50:48.440
 freshly

00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:51.699
 grasp how much you love us.

00:50:51.699 --> 00:50:53.460
 Lord,

00:50:53.460 --> 00:50:56.279
 even this day,

00:50:56.279 --> 00:50:56.899
 this week,

00:50:56.980 --> 00:50:58.059
 we pray that you would

00:50:58.059 --> 00:51:00.059
 take us back to

00:51:00.059 --> 00:51:01.719
 who we were

00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:03.439
 and how you rescued us.

00:51:04.779 --> 00:51:05.279
 Lord, maybe

00:51:05.279 --> 00:51:06.519
 it's been a long time

00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:07.859
 since we've been walking with you

00:51:07.859 --> 00:51:09.339
 and we want to be refreshed

00:51:09.339 --> 00:51:09.859
 in

00:51:09.859 --> 00:51:11.599
 that simple truth

00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:12.759
 of just how much it means

00:51:12.759 --> 00:51:13.739
 to be yours.

00:51:15.460 --> 00:51:16.579
 Lord, we pray you would

00:51:16.579 --> 00:51:17.639
 brighten our

00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:19.399
 hearts and minds

00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:19.900
 with

00:51:19.900 --> 00:51:22.139
 this truth of your love

00:51:22.139 --> 00:51:23.960
 and Father, I pray that you would

00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:25.780
 not allow this

00:51:25.780 --> 00:51:27.000
 calling of ours

00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:27.599
 to be

00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:29.079
 people that love

00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:29.900
 to be lost

00:51:29.900 --> 00:51:30.320
 in

00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.579
 the course of so many other things

00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:33.420
 that we want to give

00:51:33.420 --> 00:51:34.360
 our life to

00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:35.240
 as Christians.

00:51:36.539 --> 00:51:38.000
 Lord, the great commandment

00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:38.740
 is to love you

00:51:38.740 --> 00:51:39.519
 and to love others

00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:40.980
 and we need your help

00:51:40.980 --> 00:51:43.180
 not just to grow in that love,

00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:43.460
 Father,

00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:45.220
 but to not lose sight of our calling.

00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:46.260
 So we pray for that,

00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:46.639
 Father.

00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:49.000
 I pray that this church

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:50.559
 and the families

00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:51.219
 in this church,

00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:52.079
 people, Lord,

00:51:52.139 --> 00:51:53.039
 that they would really be

00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:54.299
 grown up more

00:51:54.299 --> 00:51:55.259
 and more and more

00:51:55.259 --> 00:51:57.699
 in their love for you

00:51:57.699 --> 00:51:58.960
 and their love for one another.

00:51:59.779 --> 00:52:00.960
 Help us to do that,

00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:01.759
 Father, we pray

00:52:01.759 --> 00:52:02.739
 in Jesus' name.

00:52:03.539 --> 00:52:03.879
 Amen.
